Dr. Pepper $5 Tuesdays let you get into the fair cheap if you hand over an empty DP can in exchange for a ticket discount.

The North Texas Food Bank has “Three for $2″ Wednesdays, giving you $2 admission if you bring a donation of three cans of food.

McDonald’s also tends to have coupons on their tray liners and in their bags for $4 off General Admission. Sometimes you’ll even nab a free child ticket.

And don’t be surprised if you see a lot of walking billboards on October 11, as that’s “Dickies Day.” Visitors who wear and show clothing with Dickies logos who visit the Dickies tent outside the gate will receive a voucher for free admission that day.
